约翰•斯珀林
John Sperling, who has a reported net worth of $1.2 billion, made his fortune after the initial public offering of the Apollo Group (APOL), which owns the for-profit University of Phoenix. Sperling, 91, has since assembled a team of scientists who aim to alleviate human suffering and fear of death -- using everything from therapeutic cloning, stem cell medicine and genetic engineering to enhance human biology. He also funded the Kronos Longevity Research Institute, which does clinical research on age-related diseases.
据报道约翰•斯珀林拥有12亿美元的净资产，他的财富来自阿波罗集团（Apollo Group）的首次公开募股，而该集团则拥有盈利性的教育机构凤凰城大学（University of Phoenix）。91岁的斯珀林此后组建了科学家团队，旨在减轻人类的病痛和对死亡的恐惧，使用一切手段加强人体生物机能，包括治疗性克隆、干细胞医学和基因工程。他还资助了克洛诺斯长寿研究所（Kronos Longevity Research Institute），后者主要从事年龄相关疾病的临床研究。
